Ok I am having a problem with a simple capture info trigger.

1) #tr {{a|the|an} * &target, *}
for capturing
a cloaked humanoid, may be a thief wields a chipped knife
works and captures humanoid to the variable target

BUT
2) #tr {{a|the|an} * %w, *} {#var target %2}
justs captures an empty variable. If the variable isnt defined it
says Variable undefined and doesnt create one.

This would be ok if I just used the top one except I am planning on adding a #addi to the second and I am sure I did alot of triggers like 2 before.

Any ideas?
Here is a chunk of text from the mud surrounding what I want to capture. The reasoning behind the #addi addition is plain when seen this way. I am planning on capturing both/all mobs to a string and using them in a speed menu.

Behind the Large Tent - Circus in Shadow Forest
Standing out behind the tent you can see the animals in their cages. They are
waiting to go inside and perform. A tiger paces up and down his enclosure
staring out at you. Sun streams down from above reflecting of the bars of the
cages. A small stream runs along the western side giving fresh water.

a cloaked humanoid, may be a thief wields a chipped knife
a high wire act, is practicing
You have the following animals trained,
at your side, baby white dragon lv(1) Dmg(311) HP(1995) tnl(1950)
at your side, red dummy lv(64) Dmg(264) HP(339) tnl(339)

As I said I am sure that (2) did work.

You need parenthesis to tell zMud to capture that part of the pattern, and the %nn values are assigned in order of capture. Since this is the first of the trigger it should be %1.
#tr {{a|the|an} * (%w), *} {#var target {%1}}
